Curing Broadleaf

 Stems and veins are still green in color, quality of the leaf and thickness is very impressive. Walking into a shed has the aroma of a heavy sweet earthy Backwoods smell times 100. Some people walk into a shed then walk right out due to the smell being to strong. Other people as myself smell the tobacco and a huge smile comes on my face. Truly Heaven. I have enjoyed this tradition, experience this way of life for 40 years. Being able to share this crop this way of life from seed to ash through this blog. Seeing how many viewers is cool. This weekend the blog will be viewed over 1,000 time. From countries as Russia , Poland, China, Greece, France, Italy, Canada, and more....

Yellow Stage of Curing. We had three day's of rain so the shed burner's were lit because the tobacco felt clammy with a heavy salty odor smell. After 24 hours the burners were turned off the rain stopped. Sides of the sheds opened and the curing continues. 

This shed picture would make a great calender picture.
